"Giroux refuses to give in or give up. The Violence of Organized Forgetting is a clarion call to imagine a different America–just, fair, and caring–and then to struggle for it."–Bill Moyers "Henry Giroux has accomplished an exciting, brilliant intellectual dissection of America's somnambulent voyage into anti-democratic political depravity.

Students are graduating from college with an unprecedented amount of debt. The Quebec student movement and the Occupy Wall Street movement proves that large numbers of students are demanding explanations for why they are crippled with debt and subject to ever increasing tution.

Это поэтическое эссе одной из главных фигур современной интеллектуальной мысли Джорджо Агамбена (род. 1942). Демонстрируя своему читателю кабинеты, в которых ему приходилось работать, итальянский философ пытается выстроить свой автопортрет через находившиеся там вещи.
